THE DETECTION OF CRIME.

There is remarkable contrast between the
swift discovery Of the New-Haven murdercrs
and the futile and prolonged search for the
perpetrator Of the Railway murder, and it is
worth inquirng into the cause Of this marked
difference, Briefly stated, the secret lies in the
distinction between professional and amateur
criminals. Tho New-York detective police
system is sound so far as it goes. II is based
upon the exercise Of constant supervision over
known criminals. These, through methods best
known to themselves, the detectives keep track
of so steadily that they know in general way
what nearly every professional criminal is
doing at any given time. Their vigilance is
necessarily directed mainly to the prevention Of
robberies, which are the most frequent Of
offences but in case O murder grows out of a
burglary, the same agencies assist in tracking
the assassin IL was in this way that the New
Haven murder was detected. The police knew
that Ncw-Haven criminal had come TO New
Yori, and had been consorting with local
criminal and they were expecting a robbery
al New Haven about the time when Mrs. Ernst
was killed. No sooner was the crime reported
than they were on the trail Of the men. and
their arrest followed promptly.
This shows the efficiency OF the detective
system within its limitations The Railway
murder, on the other hand, discloses it's limita-
tons The latter crime may have been com
mittcd by New Y orlier, but evidently not by
professional and the moment the profes-
sional circle is oversteppcd the prescience Of
the police fails, and they become az other
men," like Samson shorn. The Railway muir
der was a test Of all the popular legends about
| N "a Ia Of
them. In ono of Gaboriau's novels such a
case would have been but fine opportunity
for exhibiting the sleuth- hound cunning OF
some Monsieur Lc Coz. He would have made
tho most profound inductions. He would have
evolved q Photographic picture OF the assassin
from the track of his boot-hecl in the mud.
A shred Of cambria on an adjoining fence
would have familiaizcd him with the exact
way in which tho crime was committed, and
a button found near the corpse would have
led him unerringly to the hiding place of the
yuilty person. Outside OF Gaboriau, how
over, things move with more friction, and so
il happened that though many detectives, en-
lowed by the popular imagination with super
human powers OF inqlisition, examined the
body and the scene of the crime and every
thing that was picked up in the vicinity, and
though many Of them constructed theories,
not one solved the mystery no. one even sue
cccdcd in establishing the identity Of tho
victim.
The conclusion to be drawn from these facts
is that the present detective system, while
useful within certain rather narrow limits
ia altogether too circumseribed, and from tho
very nature of il fails completely when applied
to tho discovery of any unusual crime, com
mittcd by on-professional. Now, as very
large proportion Of all murders, and perhaps 4
majority Of tho most cruel and base murders

are pepetrated by amateurs, so to say, ~
follows that the police, through fixing tne,r
attention so entirely upon professional criml,
nails arc at serious disadvantage In all
special and peculiar cases. Their behavior In
such cases, moreover, proves that they 40 no'
cultivate fnesse, that they do not practlse III
duction, that they have no subtle intellectual
processes at command but that they ohiy
know how to follow a strong scent and wheh
the scent fails they arc completely thrown ou'

they do not appear to get on the police force
ot present. The means used by the actua'
detectives are practical, commons sense meVh'

but unfortunately quite useless beyond IL. Ill

which needs filing and which will have 10 DC

obscure and peculiar crimes. And tins Is an
important consideration, for the failure 10

THE COLONIAL CONFERENCE.

Tho Colonial Conference in London has led
TO some practical results. The question Oh
immortal defence has been discussed in detail
and measures for strengthening the BrluSh
feet in colonial waters favored. The Aus
tralian delegates represented that their colo
MES would be willing to pay for the perma-
nent maintenance Of feet sent out for their
protection. The English officials agreed to
make substantial additions to the effective
strength Of the navy in tho South Seas with
tho understanding that there should be
financial partnership between the mother
state and the colonies. Similar proposals
were offered with reference to the naval de-
fence of Canada. Tho fleet is to be strength
ened in the North Atlantic. and it is rlmored
that the Parliament al Ottawa will be asked
To sanction a scheme Of naval reorganization
which will cost the Dominion 5000, 900 a
wear for a decade On the Pacific side a line
of steamers is to receive subsidy Of 100000
from the Canadian Government, but is to be
built under Admiralty inspection and will b'
chartered in tho event of war by the British
Government for service as cruisers. Projects
for Increasing the efficiency Of the military
forces of tho Australian and Canadian colonies
have also been considered by the Conference
The engagements mado by. the Conference
have no direct binding force. The Parlia
ments. Imperial and Colonial, viii have to b
consulted, and authority be given on botf
sides before this scheme Of naval and mllitar,
defence can DO carried out. Lord Georg
Hamilton has described the plan as limitet

partnership in supporting the cost Of the I'm
pcral Navy. The colonies are to have INC
advantage of full and adequate protection by
a ell-equipped feet and are to pay for the
maintenance of it. This is policy which VIII
be popular in England, since it involves a
display of the resources of the Empire with
tho cost carefully assessed and charged to the
account of the colonies. The obligations in,
cured will be sharply scrutinizcd in Canada
and elsewhere before this scheme Of Imperial
defence is sanctioned.

The majority in the British House of Com
mons is about to pass resolution declaring the
urgency of the Coercion bill. This will be fol-
lowed by wholesale suspension of Irish mem
bers, and possibly also of Mr.. Gladstone; then
the bill will easily be carried through. Or
course such proceedings will be constitutionally
illegal. 1t does not help the matter that ME-
Gladstone, when once in power, adopted THIS
line of action. Two wrongs do not make
right In English politics or anywhere else.
Moreover, in 1881 the old rules of procedure
were in force. Since then the closure has been
introduced, and by SO much has the moral JUS
tification for extreme measures like this been
reduced. Yet it must be admitted that the de-
bate on this coercion measure Is likely to go on
unfortunately if the present rules are not sus-
pended What a spectacle to mark the queens

The baseball fever must be an extraordinary
disease. The New-York club has played at
times this year about as badly as it is possible
for a club to play. But the crowds at the
games show no falling OFF in size. The direct
ors of the home club appear to have adopted
that old maxim relating to pennywsdom
and poundfoolisbness Large amounts have
been spent in certain directions when a small.
er but more judcious outlay OF capital
would have been just as beneficial. 1t is the
grieved opinion of the average follower OF our
National game that the New-York club mas
not been as solicitous in securing additional
players to strengthen weak points in the nine
as it should have been. But the race for
pennant honors is long one and New Yorks
representatives may yet see the errors OF their
WAYS and win.
